What about your promises? novel

After the proposal , Logan and I began planning our wedding in an orderly , joyful rush . But just days before the ceremony , I saw Filbert again . He was wearing a new suit and holding a bouquet of roses . Despite trying to appear composed , the exhaustion in his face was impossible to hide . Before I could say anything , he started to apologize . " Felicia , I'm sorry . I was wrong . " It had only been two months since I last saw him , yet now , I felt absolutely nothing . No anger .

No love . The man in front of me was nothing more than a stranger . When I didn't respond , Filbert stared at me , desperation in his eyes . " Felicia , I know the whole truth now . I know it was you who saved me back then . I was wrong to blame you - but Nancy tricked me ! " I've already gotten revenge on her . She won't ever show up in our lives again . Please just give me one more chance . " Oh - and the video ? It wasn't me who leaked it . That was Nancy's doing , too . She set you up .

" Felicia , I've been looking for you nonstop for two months . Are you okay ? I missed you so much . Ever since you left , I finally realized how terribly wrong I was . " I shook my head and looked at him calmly . " Filbert , it's too late . I gave you ninety - nine chances . You didn't take a single one . " But Filbert kept staring at me , his voice bitter and full of regret . " Felicia , I know I hurt you . Tell me what to do to make it right - anything . I'll do it .

" Is it because I hit you ? I'll hit myself , too , okay ? " And with that , he began slapping himself in the face , over and over , apologizing as he went . But no matter how dramatic he got , my heart remained completely unmoved . " Filbert , the moment you chose Nancy over me for the 99th time , there was no going back for us . " So even if you beat yourself to death right here and now , it won't change a thing . " Oh , and - there's someone I'd like you to meet .

" Our rings clinked together with a crisp sound . 3 " This is my fiancé , Logan . " 288 iVouchers Filbert froze in place , visibly hurt . Still unwilling to give up , he muttered , " Felicia , you're lying , right ? You two haven't known each other long enough to be getting married . " I know I messed up - badly .

Punish me however you want , but don't do this to me . I can't take it . " I smiled and shook my head . " Logan and I have known each other for over 20 years . He waited for me for ten . He loves me , and I love him . " And with that , I turned and kissed Logan . Two weeks later , we held a beautiful wedding in a church . It was the hundredth time I had worn a wedding dress - but the first time I had chosen the right man .

And the first time , I received genuine blessings from everyone in attendance . On the day of the wedding , Filbert lingered outside the church . He had convinced himself that I still loved him , that I could never truly marry someone else . But what he forgot was that my love for him had long since been worn down by his betrayals - over and over again . It wasn't until he saw me and Logan exchange rings under the priest's blessing that he finally turned and left in defeat .

Later , I heard from friends back home that Nancy had been driven to a mental breakdown by Filbert's revenge . One night , she snapped and stabbed him with a knife . Thankfully , a neighbor discovered it in time and called the police . Filbert survived . But from that day on , he had to rely on medication for the rest of his life . A year later , I gave birth to twins - a boy and a girl . As Logan looked at the babies in the stroller , he leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek .

" Honey , I'm so glad I didn't give up . I finally have you . " And I was grateful to fate - for not letting me miss out on the love of my life . 49.6 %
